The Rossoneri looked set to cruise to victory when Davide Calabria put them 3-1 up ෴in the 🐲77th minute at San Siro.
Rafael Leao, who may well be on the move in the upcoming transfer window, had put Milan ahead after capitalising on a dreadful mistake from Salernitana goalkeeper Vincenzo Fജiorillo in the 22nd minute.
Giroud doubled the advantage five m🀅i💞nutes later, volleying home from an Alessandro Florenzi corner to mark his farewell appearance in style before he joins MLS club Los Angeles FC.
Salernitana pulled a goal back through forward Simy in the second half before Calabria restored the hosts' two-goal lead, with Pioli seemingly sailing towards a viꦗctory in his last match.
Yet Junior Sambia and Simy lev🦂elled with two quick-fire goals in the dyi🔯ng moments to deny second-place Milan a victory to end the season.
Data Debrief: Giroud heads off into the sunset in style
Giroud finished the Serie A season with 23 goal involvements (15 goals and eight assists); only twice in h💧is career has he managed a better tally in a si꧙ngle season in the big five European leagues: 24 in 2013-14 with Arsenal and 30 in 2011-12 with Montpellier.
Indeed, the 37-year-old is the oldest player among those with at least 23 goals involvement in th🥃e b𒊎ig five European leagues this season.
Christian Pulisic grabbed an assist, meanwhile, to become on🍎ly the second Milan midfielder to be involved in 20+ goals (12 goals, eight assists) in a single Serie A season, after Kaka (20 in 2005-06, 26 in 2007-08, 25 in 2008-09) in the last 20 seasons.
